Hearing the life story about how Lorenzo and Karolina met, about how they fell in love, about how they lost their first child and broke up because of it, and how they got back together and had Nadeline, did a lot for Jaakuna. First off, it was incredible to hear such an imperfect perfect relationship. Of course every marriage, as Lorenzo said, goes through their ups and downs. 

So that’s the moral of the story, huh? I need to get my head out of my ass, and stop trying to protect Emiri from every little thing.

Jaakuna couldn’t help but let out a laugh. It was more of a laugh at himself than it was at what Lorenzo had just said. To think that someone else other than Jaakuna had those feelings of self-doubt and fear. What was Jaakuna thinking? Of course there were more people. Everyone goes through those moments of dread and fear and just about everything related to it. 

How I was a fool.

“[color=ed1c24][b]Lorenzo, thank you,[/b][/color]” Jaakuna said, cocking his head to the side ever so slightly, giving Lorenzo a grin. He held out his hand, and said, “[color=ed1c24][b]You’re a good man, Lorenzo Jeremiah Roselia. I am honored to call you a friend.[/b][/color]”
